A corrosion measuring instrument is a device designed to detect, monitor, and quantify the rate or extent of corrosion on metals or other materials. These instruments generally provide accurate measurements of material degradation over time, aiding in assessing structural integrity, forecasting maintenance requirements, and avoiding potential failures in industrial, infrastructure, or laboratory environments.
The primary types of corrosion measuring instruments include electrochemical instruments, ultrasonic sensors, corrosion rate gauges, and visual inspection tools. Electrochemical instruments assess corrosion through electrical signals such as current, voltage, or resistance to evaluate the metal's degradation. This category includes various product types, such as portable corrosion measuring instruments, benchtop corrosion measuring instruments, and technologies such as potentiostat technology, galvanostatic technology, linear polarization resistance (LPR), and impedance measurement technology. These solutions are distributed via direct sales, distributors and resellers, online sales platforms, retail outlets, and third-party vendors, serving a broad range of end-user industries, including oil and gas, chemical, automotive, marine, construction, and more.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The swift increase in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly affecting the machinery sector by increasing costs for steel, hydraulic systems, and precision bearings critical components often imported from tariff-affected regions. Manufacturers of construction, agricultural, and industrial machinery now face squeezed margins, as many long-term contracts prevent immediate price adjustments. The uncertainty has also delayed investment in automation and smart machinery technologies, slowing productivity gains. To adapt, firms are accelerating local supplier development, redesigning products to use alternative materials, and leveraging predictive maintenance to extend equipment lifespans amid higher replacement costs.

This corrosion measuring instrument market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The corrosion measuring instrument market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.48 billion in 2024 to $1.61 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The growth during the historic period is attributed to increasing industrialization, expanding oil and gas infrastructure, rising demand for metal protection, growth of marine applications, and expanding chemical processing activities.
The corrosion measuring instrument market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.18 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.0%. The growth in the forecast period is attributed to increasing regulatory compliance, expansion of renewable energy infrastructure, rising demand for predictive maintenance, growth in offshore exploration, and greater adoption of smart monitoring systems. Key trends in the forecast period include technological advancements in remote monitoring, innovations in nondestructive testing, progress in corrosion-resistant materials, investment in research and development, and digitalization of asset monitoring.
The growth in industrialization is expected to drive the expansion of the corrosion measuring instrument market moving forward. Industrialization involves transforming an economy from primarily agricultural to one centered on manufacturing and industrial production through the use of technology and machinery. This process is accelerating as ongoing technological advancements and automation enable industries to boost productivity, lower operational costs, and meet the increasing global demand for high-quality manufactured goods more efficiently. Corrosion measuring instruments contribute to industrialization by detecting and managing material degradation in equipment and infrastructure, thereby enhancing efficiency, reducing maintenance expenses, and extending asset lifespan for sustainable industrial operations. For example, according to Eurostat, the Luxembourg-based statistical office of the European Union, seasonally adjusted industrial production rose by 0.3% in the euro area and 0.2% in the EU in July 2025 compared to June 2025, with a year-on-year increase of 1.8% in both regions compared to July 2024. Thus, industrialization growth is fueling the expansion of the corrosion measuring instrument market.
Leading companies in the corrosion measuring instrument market are focusing on launching advanced corrosion monitoring solutions such as corrosion under insulation risk monitoring systems to improve real-time detection, enhance predictive maintenance, and reduce operational downtime in vital industrial infrastructure. A corrosion under insulation risk monitoring system is a technology that continuously detects and monitors corrosion on insulated metal surfaces, helping to prevent equipment failure and lower maintenance costs. For instance, in November 2023, CorrosionRADAR, a UK-based firm specializing in corrosion monitoring, introduced the LR (Long Range) generation of its Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) risk monitoring system. This system features a dual-sensor design for simultaneous corrosion and moisture detection, covering up to 50 meters per sensor. The battery-operated system wirelessly transmits data via LoRa over distances exceeding 1 kilometer and offers Bluetooth tablet access along with an advanced Clarity Dashboard for cloud or local data analytics. The LR platform is designed for comprehensive, predictive corrosion risk monitoring, early detection, and optimized maintenance, delivering significant improvements in asset integrity management and lowering related costs with automated, real-time insights.
